The wiring instructions for the trailer should include instructions for
wiring if you have the retractable tongue kit. If you retrofit the
retractable tongue after the trailer is built, you really have to do a lot
of wire cutting and splicing. I knew the wiring would change with the
retractable tongue, so I ran the wires in a way that seemed more
sensible. I didn't care for the twist-on wire connectors or quick splices,
so I soldered all the electrical connections and covered them in heat
shrink tubing. I also didn't like just having the wires exposed and
running through holes with sharp edges, so I enclosed them in wire
conduit.
It does take some effort to retract the tongue and then extend it
again. But the trailer does store upright nicely in my garage, and
there is still room for my truck.

Great way to free up garage
space. Unfortunately the
tongue bracket on my unit
wasn't quite square out of the
box and the tongue requires a
rubber mallet and some WD-40
to slide back and forth. The
extended wiring harness
doesn't have a full length
ground wire, so the trailer
body is grounded wherever the
tongue contacts the tongue
bracket; this may eventually
lead to intermittent grounding
problems. I'd recommend
covering the wiring with spiral
wrap or something similar to
keep the wires from rubbing
directly on the tongue (there
are a lot of sharp edges, and
no one wants a short in the
middle of the night). The
instructions assume you've
already assembled your
trailer; it would be nice if there
were modified instructions for
those who buy the trailer kit
and this kit together (not hard
to figure out though).
